What's New at the Market Stalls at the Boston Design Center

One of the things I’ve missed most in the last year is visiting the Market Stalls, the curated antiques and unique goods from a variety of vendors set up in one end of the second floor at the Boston Design Center. I ALWAYS walk through to see what looks interesting whenever I’m at the BDC. Here is what I spotted earlier this week…

Seen Around Town: sexy chair legs ...

It's almost summer, which seems like the right time of year to show a little leg...

In the world of design, I am in favor of a mix of leggy and skirted pieces in any room. Legs give pieces a lighter, less bulky feel. That said, the choice of styles available is vast! So, without further ado, here is a round up of some of the options spotted recently at the Boston Design Center.

Seen Around Town

Another sprint through the Boston Design Center revealed some interesting trends in side and cocktail tables ...

Side Tables

Sleek and sexy side tables in a mix of metals ...

like this terrific mixed metal take on neoclassical style

and these patterned m etal drink tables.

There were a lot of nice options in metal and glass ...

and in metal and stone.

There was this fabulous pair of cantilevered nesting drink tables,

and this chrome base with a removable lacquer tray top.

This was a really fun option in a whimsical color and shape.

There is a definite trend toward acrylic tables in a variety of styles that would fit seamlessly in almost any room while maintaining a light and open look.

Cocktail Tables

There is a current trend toward pairs of square cocktail tables as a more flexible alternative to a single rectangular one. Here are some interesting ones in zinc with gilded iron bases and some glamor-meets-campaign ones with mirrored tops on classic x-frame wood bases.

There are still plenty of more classic style cocktail tables, but in newer material mixes such as this round cocktail table with a great antiqued, beveled mirrored top on a distressed, turned-leg base.

We hope you have enjoyed this quick shopping trip through the latest table options...
